As a mid-year transfer, he’ll be able to join the team for spring practice in February and the junior-to-be will likely be included in the mix to compete for the starting quarterback job next year.

Senior Joe Gray will return as the most experienced quarterback at the Division I level, having started seven games last season. But coach Ron Caragher has already stated that he won’t enter spring as the annointed starter.

Junior Malik Watson, a junior college transfer from a year ago who completed a redshirt season, should also get a chance to compete along with freshman Ian Fieber, who also just redshirted. Junior Mitch Ravizza could also get a chance to earn playing time.
